The past weekend was one with a lot of events – from the allegations laid against the Feminist Coalition, their surprising financial report to the 63rd prestigious Grammys awards. Here are the top events of the weekend.
1. Feminist Coalition, the group which oversaw the welfarism and financial donations during the #EndSARS protests had been dragged by the wigs of its members for secretly moving $51,000 from the BTC donations account. A tweep had checked the account and raised an alarm when he discovered the transaction, leading to the drags the group got. In return, FemCo gave an explanation of the transaction and a more detailed report of how the donations were spent different from what it gave in 2020, only for more accusations to arise.
2. The People’s Democratic Party attacked the Presidency gruesomely over the reported hike in fuel price and the $1bn arm funds which went missing under the former Service Chiefs administration. In its first statement on the hike, the major opposition party said fuel in the country should not sell above 70 naira and the Government should not just push Nigerians beyond their coping limits. In another statement on the funds, PDP accused the APC and Buhari-led administration have swindled Nigeria. Meanwhile, the former Chief of Army Staff General Tukur Buratai, who spoke through his lawyer Osuagwu Ugochukwu on Friday denied the allegation.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian Army, on Saturday prided itself in salvaging another kidnap situation at the Turkish International College in Kaduna, following the abduction of students of the Federal College of Forest Mechanisation, Akafa-Kaduna. Not only did the Army said it stopped the abduction but also rescued about 180 students of the college. In a statement released by the Director of Army Public Relations, Brigadier General Mohammed Yerima, the army was said to have acted on a tip that bandits were going to carry out the ugly operation at the international school and had mobilised the troops of the to safeguard the students. While the safeguarding was ongoing, Yerima said the army received another distress call that bandits had stormed the Federal College of Forestry Mechanisation. He explained that the troops swiftly moved to the scene in the Igabi Local Government Area of the state and decisively engaged the armed bandits to prevent them from kidnapping the staff and students of the school.
4. Another Nigerian lady has once again exposed the illness and dirt of some transporters as she shared a video of a driver masturbating while he rode her.
